*** Becoming People of the Truth [A Reading List]

I once heard Stanley Hauerwas say that all of Christian ethics can be boiled down to two words:
“Don’t lie.” And yet certainty evades us, and the best we can do is to bear witness with our lives to
the one who called himself Truth, despite our struggles to understand what he was about.
I’ve been wrestling with these questions recently, and offer here the stack of books that
are serving as guides on this journey.
